Abstract

An integrated photonic polarization beam splitter includes an optical coupler having an input port, a first output port, and a second output port. The optical coupler is operable to couple a portion of an input light beam at the input port into the first output port and another portion of the input light beam into the second output port. The integrated photonic polarization beam splitter also includes a first waveguide having a first linear polarizer embedded therein and coupled to the first output port of the optical coupler and a second waveguide having a second linear polarizer embedded therein and coupled to the second output port of the optical coupler.
